state for either candidate, you know, obama is still faring pretty well according to the polls. and i guess the big question is how much faith we can put in those polls at this point. jon: so what's up with ohio? why is the president doing so well there? >> i think that the big reason is because the one part of the economy that president obama has really sort of touted is the massive bailout of the auto industry, and if you listen to the ads that are run in ohio which has a lot of auto manufacturing, it almost sounds like president obama's running for president of the auto industry as opposed to president of the united states. he really has brought that home, and i think that that has been as big a reason as any for why his numbers have remained somewhat steady or steadier than in other states. that also, you know, the union support is still -- unions are still pretty powerful in a place like ohio, and i think that that, you know, that is probably helping obama to some degree as well. jon: some interesting numbers. this quinnipiac poll said that three-quarters of the voters roug
